In structural analyses, masonry infill walls are commonly considered to be non structural
elements. However, the response of reinforced concrete buildings to earthquake loads can …

The effect of infill panels on the response of RC frames subjected to seismic action is widely
recognised and has been subject of numerous experimental investigations, while several …

Currently, seismic design of new European buildings follows a force-based approach, whilst
the assessment of existing buildings is moving towards a displacement-based philosophy. In …

Dynamic analysis is the best and most accurate type of analysis for accurate evaluation of
structures. However, being time consuming and the need for experience in reviewing the …

Harbours are crucial assets for the sustainment and development of human activities. The
recent devastating tsunami events as well as the increasing number of people, structures …

The presence of capillary pressure in unsaturated soils may, under certain circumstances,
significantly affect the stability of a slope and the safety of a structure standing in the vicinity …

The aim of this paper is to investigate whether existing generic fragility curves for various
residential building typologies can be safely applied for the vulnerability assessment of …

In modern Pushover analyzes, as well as irregular structural forms, consideration of the
effect of higher modes is critical. For this purpose and in the same direction as the …

Este proyecto está dirigido a determinar la resistencia a compresión por la falla de tracción
